Natural pearls have been produced over a long period of time, and there are some weathering patterns on the surface, which are inconsistent in thickness and look like sand dunes blown by the wind.while artificial pearls can see eggshell-like coatings.

At the same height of 60 centimeters, natural pearls can bounce back to a height of about 35 centimeters, while under the same conditions, fake pearls will rebound much less 35cm due to differences in density and weight.
